Why is it important to rely on God’s grace for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Relying on God’s grace is essential because salvation is not based on our works but on Christ's redemptive act.

Salvation is rooted in God's grace, as emphasized in Ephesians 2:8-9, where it articulates that we are saved by grace through faith, not by our works. Emphasizing this truth guards against the human tendency to depend on personal achievements for justification. Jesus warns that many will claim entrance into the kingdom based on their deeds, yet He will declare, 'I never knew you' (Matthew 7:23). This highlights the horror of resting in self-righteousness instead of embracing the finished work of Christ, which is the sole basis for our acceptance before God.
